Fantastic blue light and silhouettes... where is that kingdom of Utopia? who knows
31 May 2010 5:53am
Beautiful color and lighting illuminating the world of these trees .
Love the circular movement required by the eye... drawing us into Utopia ! :-)

The strange blue light, the silhouttes and the man moving as it seems searching- all this really makes it a clear vision of the seeking for Utopia. Great composition with that circular form and a very suitable lighting.
On the other hand I read on Wikiedia that Utopia could be translated with "Nowhere" and that maybe gives another interpretation to your picture.

Love the silhouette i (think i) see in the tangled branches down there.
A dream again, you share yours perfectly and we open our eyes to dream with you. That's having a Style for sure.

Superb picture! Love the silhouette and the blue tones!!!
31 May 2010 1:17pm
Oh you too (are looking for Utopia) ?
I'm looking at it too, there are maybe unknown airlines which could send us there ?
Love your PP here Sharon, adding a fantastic and dreamy mood to these trees in the sky.
It's a pity we live so far from each other. I would have loved to meet you.
In Utopia, maybe one day or another. ;-)

@Florence: You are so kind Florence, thank you :) I am hoping one day to make it to Paris, perhaps that is my Utopia, one never knows. Maybe one day we will meet....I do believe that anything is possible.
Wonderful, soft blue. I like the spot of light.

Good use of color. That lone figure poking out of the brush looks more like he is escaping rather than looking for Utopia. But I can't decide if he looks like a prisoner running from the bloodhounds or an innocent running from the zombies.
31 May 2010 2:28pm
WOW!!! Absolutely lovely..the mood and tone are just outstanding...and the words are so so true:)
31 May 2010 3:17pm
Beautiful; the blue in the sky and the sillhouettes, with a little peek of the sun.
31 May 2010 3:42pm
Out-of-this-world eerie blue light. Stunning..powerful..mysterious.
31 May 2010 3:47pm
Very mysterious, and the blue tone is perfect.
31 May 2010 3:51pm
Such cool silhouettes of the tree and what seems like a person, the cool blues give such an interesting mood to this
31 May 2010 4:25pm
i do like the subtle colors going on here with the silhouette.. a very nice shot.. :)
31 May 2010 4:57pm
Fantastic scenery, lovely light and tree
Mysterious shot !
31 May 2010 5:02pm
Absolutely fantastic image. Your light caught at the side, the hunched figure in the brush, your vignette around the trees. And I absolutely love your title. Doesn't it feel that way? A fruitless search through the darkness, lost and fumbling.
31 May 2010 5:21pm
haunting feeling...great lighting...beautiful silhouettes....5 stars...
31 May 2010 6:10pm
Terrfic!!! I love the blue tones and silhouettes. Superb processing. I really like the mood here - almost spooky.
31 May 2010 7:15pm
i wondered what the world must look like to those looking up from their graves. now i know. it's a bit surreal.
1 Jun 2010 12:27am
I think we are all yearning to find it. Fantastic mood.
1 Jun 2010 1:22am
great tree, i love the colors and the detail of the sharp lines of the tree against the soft background
1 Jun 2010 5:24am
Just enough mistery to imagine a great History........................................."Once upon a time,in a farewell country........"
1 Jun 2010 5:26am
Lovely colours and perpective and a very nice silhouette too
1 Jun 2010 9:15am
Everyone loves your processing :) This is such a wonderful magical shot!
1 Jun 2010 10:21am
I like the color of the sky and the way the naked branches fill the frame.
1 Jun 2010 2:00pm
What a mysterious dreamlike atmosphere!!! Soul stirring and evocative! Brilliant play of light and amazing tonality... your signature is everywhere on the image!:-)
1 Jun 2010 3:01pm
Wow, nice blue toning! Powerful filter effect!
2 Jun 2010 1:59am
Mesmerizing tree with what seems an infinite number of branches. Excellent use of light, contrasts and tones to create an amazing and mysterious composition.
2 Jun 2010 3:18am

2 Jun 2010 5:39am
Wow! I love the light and the tones... Makes me wanna leave and go there...

Great shot, love the softness and hue of the blue!

The running is long but the dream is in the rear.
The Title completes to illustrate this view

2 Jun 2010 9:48pm
One of those exceptional images that goes beyond itself . . it has an effect beyond what mere words can say.
3 Jun 2010 3:34pm
I like the way it looks to me as if the person is arising out of the ground at night fall and very thirsty.
